I feel bad for Reds fans. Honestly for Pirates fans too. But Reds ownership made it clear that they're shitheads (or at least teh son did) and they don't care about the fans one iota
they were my favorite NL team back when they had Griffey and Larkin so I still have some affinity towards them but it's depressing to see a historic franchise trashed like this

Angel Hernandez. Angel Cabrera was removed from society for a couple years and now resides in an Argentine prison.The umps are unionized. They can't be removed. See: Angel Cabrera and his lawsuit.
They can not self-police and MLB has no say in a particular umpires continued employment.
But you're right -- the umpires union may be even stronger than the players union. It's gonna happen at some point where an umpire is gonna get swatted by a player. What happened with Bumgarner yesterday would have been a good example of a player just whacking the guy.

Will the MLB do anything about Bellino? My guess is no.

MLB
Veteran umpire Dan Bellino has issued an apology after ejecting Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Madison Bumgarner in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins.
"I would like to address my actions on May 4 involving Madison Bumgarner," the statement said. "When I began my MLB career almost 15 years ago, I received some good advice. I was told to umpire every game as if my children were sitting in the front row. I fell short of those expectations this week. While I can't go back and change what happened, I take full accountability. I will learn from this incident, and I sincerely apologize."
Bumgarner, 32, was thrown out at the end of the inning during a routine check of his hands and glove for sticky substances. A fierce argument between the two ensued with Diamondbacks personnel needing to restrain Bumgarner. The situation escalated for several minutes before Bumgarner finally calmed down.
Bellino was disciplined for the incident, according to a source familiar with the situation, though he's working the series between the Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers this weekend.
Bumgarner will not face further discipline.
"You guys have seen the video," Bumgarner said after the game on Wednesday. "I don't know if I could say anything that would make the situation better."
Bellino claimed Bumgarner was tossed for using profanity directed at him. Earlier in the inning the veteran pitcher showed some frustration at a ball/strike call by home plate umpire Ryan Willis. That came minutes before the confrontation with Bellino.
It's extremely rare for an umpire to issue a public apology though Bellino felt it was necessary in this case.

Was it just that he looked at his fingers in an extra long assholey way?

Not much. A little back and forth but when it starts getting excessive in terms of time or raised voices/swearing then they gotta go. That said, they should do their best to deescalate as well vs the exact opposite that happened here. Which I know you said unrelated to this incident, but just a good example
MLB
The next time you think "why did he swing at that?" at a slider way off the plate, think of this pitch

Can they show the overlay of holes throwing a cutter four inches off the plate and a slider in the dirt while wearing a bucco uniform
